Not as good as Roku 3

It is sluggish and slow. It powers off when the TV is turned off, and takes a very long time rebooting once the TV is turned back on. Compared to the Roku 3, it is frustratingly slow moving through menus. Only good quality is there are no cables to see. But the bad qualities far outweigh that one positive.
The stick needed support immediately in order to play HBOGO videos, and will sometimes just load streaming videos on any channel EXTREMELY slow. When it works, it works great, but about once a month it's just useless. The older original version of Roku we had on the same TV worked more reliably than this one does
I love this for my bedroom. Very convenient since I have little spare room and this takes up very little. I do have wireless headphones for the tv so having no headphones on the roku did not bother me.
